Claim 1
Independent Claim
151 words
A carrier for a generally cylindrical container of the type having an outwardly projecting, peripheral enlargement or lip, said carrier comprising: means forming a one-piece, sheet-form member having a medial handle strap and a pair of container-gripping strap por-tions extending in opposite directions from either end por-tion of said medial strap at generally right angles with respect thereto and each having a distal end opposite the end connected to the medial strap; integral interengaging attachment means detachably attaching said distal end of each of said container-gripping strap to an end of said medial handle strap adjacent said connected end of the other one of said container-gripping straps, thereby to form said container gripping straps in a circular closed loop for grippingly engaging a container, with said handle strap being disposed substantially diametrally of the closed loop and extending as an upward arc from one end of said diameter to the other.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
151 words
A carrier for a generally cylindrical container of the type having an outwardly projecting, peripheral enlargement or lip, said carrier comprising: means forming a one-piece, sheet-form member having a medial handle strap and a pair of container-gripping strap por-tions extending in opposite directions from either end por-tion of said medial strap at generally right angles with respect thereto and each having a distal end opposite the end connected to the medial strap; integral interengaging attachment means detachably attaching said distal end of each of said container-gripping strap to an end of said medial handle strap adjacent said connected end of the other one of said container-gripping straps, thereby to form said container gripping straps in a circular closed loop for grippingly engaging a container, with said handle strap being disposed substantially diametrally of the closed loop and extending as an upward arc from one end of said diameter to the other.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
39 words
A carrier as defined in claim 1 and further characterized by each of said container-gripping straps being of substantially equal length and each having a length slightly greater than one-half of a circumference of a container to be carried.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
70 words
A carrier as defined in claim 1 and further characterized by said intergral interengaging attachment means comprising tab portions connected to said distal end of each said container-gripping strap by a reduced neck portion, and a pair of apertures formed in the opposite end portions of said medial handle strap and sized to receive said neck portion while retaining the tab to maintain said sheet-form member in the assembled relationship.
